Leading the Academic Department

Registration Fee: $500 by May 13, $750 after

We regret that this workshop will not be held in 2010.

Chairing a mathematical sciences department is vital for both the institution and the profession. With a focus on connecting vision and leadership, this workshop will help chairs become leaders as well as managers, and offers resources for new and long-serving chairs. Using a small-group, case-study approach, participants will explore a range of topics that includes the recruitment of faculty and students, review and assessment of the department and its programs, conflict resolution, workload issues, and financial concerns.
